However, not every procurement is included in the quota calculation. For example, as early as 2022, the Moscow government proposed raising the procurement threshold for small businesses to 50 million rubles, while regions in 2023 suggested increasing this limit to between 30 and 100 million rubles.
Consensus
- The Council of Federation approved amendments to the Federal Law 'On Contractual Systems' (44-ФЗ) regarding state procurement thresholds for SMEs and socially oriented non-commercial organizations.
- The threshold for special auctions reserved for small businesses and social organizations has been raised from 20 million to 30 million Russian rubles.
- The price limit for electronic quotation requests is being increased from 10 million to 20 million Russian rubles by the end of 2027.
- Provisions have been introduced to remove annual spending limits (50 million rubles) on small purchases (up to 600 thousand rubles) in rural areas when procuring goods and services from a single supplier.
- The changes aim to simplify procurement procedures, reduce administrative burden, and shorten the duration of procurement processes.
Points of divergence
- The amendment allows small companies to compete for larger contracts in procedures closed to large business, and reduces the need for customers to split purchases due to previous price constraints. — vesti
- The initiative was led by a group of parliamentarians headed by Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin and Speaker of the Council of Federation Valentina Matvienko, with the goal of improving procurement efficiency in regions. — interfax
- The change applies specifically to special auctions for SMEs and socially oriented non-commercial organizations, excluding cases such as defense procurements, sole-source contracts, loans, and closed procedures. — vesti
